Over a year!

Well it has been over a year since I last posted on our family blog. I have decided that it is time to get back in the swing of things. Today I actually looked back at all our blogs and it is a great way to keep up with what is going on with the girls as they grow. So here is a quick catch up of what has been happening in the world of the Mazingo family. Jason: Started his first year of teaching 3rd grade - we are so excited that he was able to get a full-time teaching position. He spends a lot of his free time planning, grading papers, and enjoying time with us. Me: Not many changes for me over the past year. I am in my 7th year of teaching 4th and 5th grade Special Education. Cloey: Is now under a month shy of being 10 years old. This year Cloey is in the 4th grade and seems to enjoy being social and talking during class. She continues to work on being a social butterfly and brought home a wonderful report card. She is still our artsy girl who can always be caught drawing or reading a book. We are at that "tween" stage and she can sometimes challenge us. We love her sense of humor as she grows. She informed me this weekend that she is getting older and will be in the double digits this year. Emma: We continue to be headed in the right direction with Emma and her health. We have continued to get great reports from her Peds Surgeon, Pediatrician, and therapists. She is working with physical therapy still, but with a different woman now. She is our spunky child who loves to be on the go, outside, and an absolute busy body. Her vocabulary is amazing! She loves to talk about everything that she has learned. Shapes continue to be a favorite of hers and she can even identify a trapezoid, rhombus, triangle, circle, and square. She is very into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and plans on having a Mickey Birthday Party. We can't wait to see what she thinks of Disney when we head in June. Well that is a short catch-up of what is going on in our busy lives these days. I am going to try and make an effort to get back in the groove and keep up with the blog more regularly. A family shot
